NEW ISSUE nº17

EPHEMERAL

In this issue, we explore the art of the moment, death, nature, and relationships that wither or transform. We question these notions through stories in which the impermanence of everything around us becomes a source of reflection on how we live, create, and engage in a constantly changing world.
